Callaway 08 X-Forged Wedge Review

The Callaway X-Forged vintage wedge is the latest from wedge guru Roger Cleveland and it does not disappoint.

The head has lovely smooth lines in a classic shape with some nice modern touches too.

Certain 56 to 64 degree models come with the Mack Daddy u-shaped grooves (look for the MD on the hosel) and these really give loads of bite, but make sure you take the edge off them on a couple of buckets of range balls rather than your stock of premium balls.

The higher lofted versions above 56 degree also have the a C-grind sole which allows you to really open the face up off tight lies.

Out of the sand it is fantastic too, as you would expect from a wedge designed by Mr Cleveland. The vintage version has a lovely finish which will rust over time and stop any glare from the sun.

Best wedge out there, performance is just as good as the Titleist Vokey if not better for the versatile X-Forged C grind sole. I get the same performance from the fairway and the rough with the Callaway X-Forged wedge whilst with the Vokey I tend to cut the ball to much and fat it.
